OUR ASPHALT HOT BOX, YOUR SOLUTION!

LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE ASPHALT HOT BOX?
SURE!
BUT PATCHBOX PROVIDES MANY OTHER BENEFITS

Our asphalt hot box is for anyone lugging around heavy and expensive bags. It’s for those wreaking shoulders shoveling cold, stiff mix off a truck bed, only to produce lousy patches. It’s for small towns and counties purchasing their first asphalt hot box as well as large organizations wanting to top off their fleet with a simple, right-sized patching tool.


Our innovative, super-simple design results in a hot box that is certainly low cost, but also provides a number of other benefits, not all of which are immediately obvious.

An effective asphalt hot box must provide warm, pliable mix for cold weather patching and extend material working time during warm weather patching.

Warm, pliable mix

Results in better patches, less wasted material and happier patching crews. After all, that’s why you buy an asphalt hot box.

 

PatchBox provides warm, pliable mix during cold weather patching (without burning mix) and extends hot mix asphalt (HMA) material working time during warm weather patching.

Maintenance crew members love the ergonomic shoveling provided by our PatchCatch Tray which slides into the truck's receiver hitch.

Means fewer back and shoulder injuries. Maintenance crew members are our biggest fans.

PatchBox's simple design results in a low cost asphalt hot box that is also a reliable and easy to use pothole patching tool.

THE SIMPLEST ASPHALT HOT BOX ON THE PLANET

One moving part (door), no burners, no electronics. So your unit is repairing streets/roads and not in the mechanic’s bay. Minimal training required for new crew members and no burnt asphalt. Finally, no ongoing fuel costs. That results in a low cost purchase price but also low cost for ongoing operation and maintenance.

PatchBox offers an asphalt hot box that small organizations can afford.

WHERE ARE PATCHBOX ASPHALT HOT BOXES HELPING STREET/ROAD MAINTENANCE CREWS?

PatchBox has units working across the Northern U.S.

We’re a low overhead company, so our initial focus has been on our home state (Iowa) and its neighbors. It often takes an innovator to see the benefits of our creative solution. Word gets out and, before long, we’re selling units to nearby communities. That’s exactly what happened in the Portland, OR area and the suburbs of Albany, NY.


If you’re an innovator and purchase the initial PatchBox asphalt hot box in your state, we’ll knock $500 off your invoice.

The City of Kirksville, MO was looking for an affordable asphalt hot box. They are a repeat customer.

WHY MAINTENANCE TEAMS PURCHASE A
PATCHBOX ASPHALT HOT BOX

  •  Workers are tired of shoveling cold, stiff mix from a truck bed … wreaking shoulders and producing lousy patches (e.g., LeClaire, IA).
  • They want to save money by replacing bagged mix with bulk (e.g., State DOT in Pacific NW).
  • Our price allows them to purchase multiple units and send out multiple crews for the same investment as a single fuel-fired trailer (e.g., Dodge County, WI).
  • They already invested in patching equipment but need a cost-effective solution so they can send out additional crews during peak patching season (e.g., Colonie, NY).
